Question:
Is it better for a student of knowledge to specialize in one of the sciences, or to take a share from all the sciences?
Answer:
One science is not sufficient; he must take from the sciences: from tawhid (the oneness of Allah), from fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), from tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), from hadith, from grammar, from usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence), from the principles of tafsir, and from the legal maxims. He must take from the sciences because the sciences help one another and complete one another, so he should not limit himself to just one science. Yes.
